Dear Heroes and Villains,

We want to take a moment to update you on the release schedule for our highly anticipated update, Rebirth Issue 7 The Coming Storm. While we initially planned to launch this fall, we've determined that we need more time to ensure everything meets our high standards. We now expect the update to be ready for you in 2025.

We know this delay may be disappointing, but we're committed to delivering the most ambitious post-sunset update for City of Heroes that you've ever experienced. To give you a taste of what's to come, we're excited to share a sneak peek at some of the new features:

New Hand-Crafted Zone: Explore Kallisti Wharf, a brand-new zone filled with engaging content, including:
New and familiar enemies
Radio and newspaper missions
New Safeguard and Mayhem missions
New contacts, each with unique story arcs
Over a dozen new mission maps
Many new badges to earn and showcase your achievements

But wait, there's more (that we can reveal now)...

Full-Color Costume Customization: Unleash your creativity with even more new costume pieces and vibrant customization options. Watch the feature video here or on our website.

We appreciate your understanding as we navigate some real-life challenges that have impacted our team's schedule. Many of our developers have stepped up as heroes in their communities—providing hurricane relief, caring for elders, battling personal health issues, and navigating unexpected life events. Despite these challenges, our commitment to delivering an incredible gaming experience remains unwavering.

Thank you for your continued support and patience. We can't wait to share more updates with you soon!

Stay heroic (or villainous),
The Rebirth Team

[Testing notes:]

Testing notes:

-Ensure that all tiers of challenge task forces offer expected rewards both for leader and team member

-Ensure that the same reward cannot be chosen in succession due to time lockouts

-Confirm that timed lockouts on rewards clear when appropriate time has passed

-Confirm that reward choices persist when ending the task force, leaving the task force, zoning, talking to other contacts, anything else you can think of

-Confirm that you get the expected weekly bonuses from completing the TFs the first time

-Confirm that the preset female electron costume looks as expected with matching pattern on torso

*Note that for all TFs except Barracuda you need to be in the final mission when it completes to get the reward table

Probably an issue in the code tracking power state, we'll look into it.  Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Hey Rebirth Players!  We're half-way through the Billboard Contest and we love your submissions.  Time is is flying by, but it isn't over.  There is still plenty of time to submit your art until December 30th.  It's your best opportunity yet to get your artwork into the game.
